Introduction
|
The "Awaken the Dawn" page is designed and dedicated to be as a resource in understanding the dynamics of prayer with a table set with teachings, audios, videos, quotes, prayers, and much more. I consider this next to the "Tabernacle" page to be the heart of His Fair Maidens. There can be no greater conquest that the conquest of prayer and to grow and excel in it for the advancing of the Kingdom of God. It is the most powerful weapon we have by which we yield the Sword of the Spirit.
The invitation is to start at dawn. This is by no mere coincidence. Those who earnestly thirst and long for Him will hear the cry of the dawn to come and meet with Him. This dawn is the birth of His light within us, which is much more than just the start of a new day. Once you discover the value of the break of dawn, you will understand why He sought His Father early in the mornings to command the day. We ourselves are called to awaken the dawn... to say, “Arise, shine!”, and declare His goodness over us. The dawn breaks and pierces the darkness, obeying our command. The day presents itself as a servant to be commanded by the man or woman of God. Oh what a place He has prepared for us! The Son coming out of His chamber, our heart, ready to run His course through us! Then to hear... "Run with Me." The question is, “Will you run with the Son?” Prayer / War Zoom MeetingsAs much as this page offers understanding and more depth to the reality of prayer, as well as prayer at dawn, mere knowledge can never be a substitute for the reality. If we are going to be that changing agent used by God, we have to awaken the dawn ourselves and join the ranks of those who are willing to endure in prayer, supplication, and intercession. This is the place of birth, where His Fair Maidens come together and in union call upon the Name of God who is truly able to save to the uttermost.

Just like any warrior prepares before battle, so too for the Fair Maiden Prayer Warriors!
As mentioned above, before beginning any weekly Prayer zooms, a 6-session "Bootcamp Training" will be required. This training was conducted over the period of April - May of 2024 and consisted of coming together for interactive teachings. Each of the teaching sessions were recorded and are available, along with all of the necessary study materials, on the "Bootcamp Training" page. Much wisdom and practical application was shared to build us up and equip us in this most powerful call. Once you have made the request to join the Prayer Meetings, we will work with you to get all the training and preparation completed before joining. Again, please make your request to join first by clicking on the "Contact" button above. The link below will give you access to all the Bootcamp teachings. These teachings will likely grow and be built upon in the future as Father guides us. |

How the Dawn Impacts Prayer
|
David said in Psalm 63 that he would seek the Lord early. This word "early" is the Hebrew word "boqer", and it means dawn. Also, many of the references to the "morning" in the Word are also this same Hebrew word. The focus is the dawn, before the sun comes up, when the light is first breaks through and overtakes the darkness.
There is so much more to the dawn that plays a major role in our call to prayer. We will be training on this vast and powerful topic in our upcoming Bootcamp Training. Once this has been completed, the full study will be posted below as well as on our "Bootcamp Training" sub-page t this page. Understanding this aspect of our call is critical, as the time of dawn has a powerful purpose in the Father's plan and is something that will permanently impact both your prayer life and your overall walk with the Father. A beautiful prophetic song by Kimberly and Alberto
Rivera about the Dawn... very inspirational. |
This is a painting I did of a photo I took from my bedroom window as dawn broke. I titled it "Dawn", not knowing what a significant role the dawn would play in my life.

The Joshua Company Comprising of Two Armies
Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.

Testimony
Before I started being active in ministry, I was given a dream where I was told that if I was not willing to stay and work during the Tribulation that I would forfeit my Joshua ministry. I did not fully understand who or what the Joshua ministry was at that time. It was prior to our Meet & Greet Session that Father revealed to us that this Joshua Army would consist of ravenous wolves and fiery foxes. Both of these are grounded in scripture and should not be confused with the enemy that is as a wolf or sly as a fox. This video below will give you greater understanding of how this came about and what His purpose is through His wolves and foxes that He will send out as part of the Warrior Bridal Company.
They are the CHILDREN OF THE DAWN.

A WAR CRY!
(Received 14 October 2020) Take up your place. Put on your armor. Stand in the midst and declare! Raise up your Sword. Sing out loud. Raise My standard! Declare My Word. These are the things for those of authority. Those I have chosen to go before. A cry of war. A cry of victory! FAITH, FAITH, FAITH! Courageous, victorious in Me. DECLARE, DECLARE, DECLARE! Prison doors open! Shackles fall! Sick be healed! Broken be healed! KEYS, KEYS, KEYS! Authority given to open doors. Walk through! Declare My Victory and see them scatter. SHOUT, SHOUT, SHOUT! The Lord, He is God. He is Alpha! He is Omega! Every place you place your feet, I have given to you. TAKE IT. TAKE IT, TAKE IT…by force. RUN, RUN, RUN! See them run! SEE IT, SEE IT, SEE IT! For they run from Me. I go before you. Know this. Believe this. Declare this! I AM is with you! Do not fear. STAND, RESIST, DECLARE AND TAKE! |
Isaiah 59
16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. 17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak. 18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. 19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.

Prophetic Words On Prayer and Warfare
Father has given me many prophetic words with regard to prayer and warfare. These prophetic words are here to inspire you and for you to understand His heart towards prayer, in order that your heart towards prayer will be aligned with His. Come back to them often in a time when you need inspiration and direction.
A Personal Word to Me for His Fair Maidens
Yashua, our High Priest, ever lives now to intercede. Having died on the altar of the cross, risen, and seated next to the Father, He now ever lives to do that which His Father purposed for Him... to forever be the High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek, who had no beginning and no end.
So we too in all Father's dealings with us in all that has happened to us, in our walk with Him, is to this end... that we as living stones, a royal priesthood built up in His breastplate, enter into the Holy of Holies and be hidden in Him with God. There we too are to ever live to intercede. This is more than just prayer, this is who you become. An intercessor stands between man and God and has to know the joy and suffering of man and the joy and suffering of God, in order to ultimately be able to stand between these two extremes. Who is sufficient for this unless He has had His way with us in every sphere of our life and in every detail? Intercessors are wrought not only in the prayer closet but in all of their life to fulfill His desire... that there would be someone who will stand in the gap and stay the vengeance of a holy and righteous God. You will read in the adjacent word the words He spoke to my heart concerning His Fair Maidens... the place He has now brought me into, to ever live to intercede. |
EVER LIVE TO INTERCEDE (Word Received 16 July 2023) Tell them, the Fair Maidens, that I am praying for them. I ever intercede for those I have chosen before the foundation of this world. For in eternity there is no beginning and end and has My Father given them to me. I, the Shepherd of the soul, watch over My little ones. I guard over them. Even now My blood by which I have bought them, speaks before My Father that they are Mine. I know what still needs to be worked in them and for this, you and I are co-laborers before My Father. For this I have chosen you to bring My little ones before My Father in prayer. To be as Anna night and day in prayer and fasting, just as I worked this desire in you to be a true intercessor. A priest unto Me, to worship Me and to pour out your life for Me for those I have chosen. That they may know that I have prepared for them greater things. That they may know that I do know the thoughts that I have for them. To truly prosper them and bring them to an expectant end. That is to say, that they too may walk as I walked and do great exploits in the time to come, which is at the door. No greater time than this, that you seek Me on their behalf. For as I said, you now can ask my Father as I do, for you are in Me. I have prepared you as a woman in travail to come before Me to birth their purposes in the womb of the Spirit in prayer. No longer about you, but those I have given you. To love them as I have loved My own and gave My life for them that they may know that the Father loves them as He loves Me. So too, they may know that in the Father is no partiality. That He loves them as He loves you. I ever live to intercede, and so do you. This prophetic word is connected to a teaching titled
"God's Firstborn at His Right Hand", which will provide further clarity and meaning overall. |
Teachings on Prayer
|
And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. Luke 22:39 |
|
The Secret Place is the place of oil. It is here where we as Mary come with our "alabaster box" and break the seal of our heart and pour the fragrant oil of intercession on those-nail pierced feet. It is here where we pour the oil over His head and find ourselves drenched in this very oil coming forth from our High Priest. This anointing oil flows from Him to us, as the anointing oil fell from Aaron's beard onto his clothes. In this place of seeking Him and beholding Him in His presence, our face begins to shine with the revelation of who He is. |
|
He has one requirement... "Bring your alabaster box. Bring your heart with all it contains and pour it out to Me. Commune with Me and I will commune with you. Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you. When you seek Me with all your heart, you will find Me." He is seeking those who will seek Him. This vulnerability and openness does not come easy to all. Just as a flower closes itself in its garb at night to once again open up with the first touch of dawn's light, so are we. When we come into His presence, we open our hearts to Him. We learn to pray by praying.
Several teachings on the very vast topic of prayer are already available on the "Teachings" Page of this site. For easy access to these video/audio teachings, we added them to this page below.
This site has with it a plethora of resources and is indeed a table set by our Bridegroom where He extends an invitation to come and feast. Out of the riches of His treasury, He has provided you with a feast to come and dine with Him through prayer.

The Principles of Prayer
Prayer should be initiated by God, not by man. Prayer is God passing through man and his prayer. Prayer is man and his prayer passing through God. Prayer must be God and man praying together. Prayer is not for man himself but for God. Prayer is the expression of God’s intention. Prayer is God’s intention entering into man’s intention. Prayer is God’s heart’s desire passing through man and returning to God. Prayer is the discharging of our burden to God. The purpose of prayer is to glorify God. - Watchman Nee |

Resources on Prayer
|
Many teachings and books have encouraged Christians through the ages. However, in the end, only one can do the praying... you. In reading and thus learning of prayer, a flame starts to be fanned that soon starts a desire birthed by the Intercessor Himself. Many are encouraged to pray when reading about prayer. The more we engross ourselves in this topic, the more we desire for more and to enter into the reality of it. With everything in our Christian walk, it starts small until it becomes a part of us. We are not only interceding, but we become intercessors. We become the thing in itself, and our lives testify of this by expressing our love in laying our life down, not just in prayer, but in all we do. May these resources enrich you greatly in your pursuit of prayer. |

Books
Below is a list of books, along with free PDF links, that are in-depth on the subject of prayer and intercession. These books were written by men of great faith, of which whom have been a part of the critical mentoring I personally received. May you also receive of the wisdom that was poured into them by the Holy Spirit through thousands of hours of prayer. Such hidden ones the world is not worthy of.

And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows. And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands. And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the Lord's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them. And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed. And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.
2 Kings 13: 15 - 19
Focused Prayers
As we let the Spirit take us into the prayers of the Father's heart, our prayers become more focused and specific. This is the goal... to pray from His heart as opposed to from our soul.
Below are resources for more focused prayers that will provide insight and depth into this wonderful place of praying His heart. Both the "Library of Prayers" as well as "Focused Prayers" are also available on our "Prayers, Poems, Quotes, & Songs" and "Library" pages on this site.

Weekly Memory Verse
|
His Word will never return void. To inscribe His word upon our heart and mind, we have to commit ourselves to memorizing His word so that what we put in, into the well of our heart, the Spirit can draw out in the time of prayer. The Word becomes living when we nurture it in our heart as a seed, and it will bring forth much by faith.
Please join us in memorizing a weekly verse, which of course, will be updated weekly. When you memorize it, memorize the verse as well as meditate on the depth and meaning of the verse. Repeat the verse right through the day, write it down, underline it in your Bible, and think on it right through the week. If you are faithful and diligent you will soon be amazed by how these verses will transform your prayers Weekly Verse:

The Spoken Word
We can be assured that He always hears the prayer of faith. When we proclaim His Word in faith, it will never return void.
In the video below, one of our Fair Maiden sisters, Chantel, shares a practical way to do this. She has created and organized a Bible set apart for praying the Word. Other Fair Maidens have already adopted this practice as well! |
A Prayer Journal
Not everybody enjoys to journal. However, we find that the Lord encourages us to remember that which He has done in the past, knowing that we need this encouragement for the future. When we journal what we pray for, and then journal the date He answered, our faith, trust, and love in His goodness grows immensely. This serves as a written testimony, a Book of Remembrance, of His faithfulness and love towards us. Start one this day, and see if He will not reward you according to your faith.
|
During our weekly prayer Zooms we will journal our prayers and His answers to us - a His Fair Maidens' Book of Remembrance. We dedicated a blog page specifically for this called, "Book of Remembrance", which is a sub-page to this page. Since it's a blog page, we will often be updating with Father's answers and testmonies. We have great expectations from our great God!
Chantel's Poem for the Prayer Warriors
Inspiration
Inspirational Videos
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around us. We were all meant to shine as children do. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others the permission to do the same, as we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

We are told to enter His gates with thanksgiving in our hearts. When we praise and worship Him in truth and sincerity of heart, God's heart is moved to do on our behalf. Not only that, but we are ourselves are touched and moved by the word and spirit within the melody and lyrics of the song. It is also through the hearing of the Word that faith comes.
Please feel free to use the playlists below to stir your spirit to enter in His presence and be built up in the faith. There are 10 songs under each playlist. |

A Final Word...

God calls many to do warfare in various spheres of life. Some He calls to stand up and speak to government, to address social issues in the public arena, and to be on the frontline and seen by the world. Others He calls into hiddenness where they are to do warfare, being seated with Him in the heavenlies. They are not seen. But what is seen are the fiery arrows of their prayers going forth and rendering the enemy powerless. These hidden ones are now called to arise. They may not be seen by man, but they are seen by Him. He knows them by name and has called and prepared them for such a time as this. They are the arrows within His quiver. They are a royal priesthood built up in Him, and they serve the High Priest and King of their confession. They are the valiant warriors of God. |

We also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; 1 Peter 2:5; 9 |
